The cfg subpackage builds a control flow graph of ast.Nodes.
The lostcancel module checks this graph to find paths, from a call to
WithCancel to a return statement, on which the cancel variable is
not used. (A trivial case is simply assigning the cancel result to
the blank identifier.)
In a sample of 50,000 source files, the new check found 2068 blank
assignments and 118 return-before-cancel errors. I manually inspected
20 of the latter and didn't find a single false positive among them.
